Two weeks left until Pesach but the Parparim Sunday school pupils are already making themselves ready for the holiday. Recently the children of the younger group had a lesson dedicated to Pesach
This lesson was given them by the Noah’s Arch Club madrich Masha Hofmekler. She told the children about the history, traditions and customs of the holiday. The children asked many questions: what is Matzos, slavery, the Exodus from Egypt and so on.
After the children got all the answers the part of the lesson began during which they decorated the holiday glass for Ceder. Here they had to show their creativity as everyone wanted his or her glass special. And if anyone asked them why they needed such a beautiful glass for Ceder they answered “It is needed to feel the holiday!”
It was very pleasant to hear thanks from the parents of the children:
Andrey Paliyenko’s mother: We visit the holidays and events in the Sunday school regularly. It is very interesting here for children. My son likes to go here.
The Borisenko family: Our family is a member of the Sunday school. We have three children of 13, 6 and 2 years. These lessons give the elder sons much knowledge about the traditions of the Jewish people. We, as parents, do not stay aside but attend all the holidays with the children, get acquainted with the other pupils and their parents. Thank you!
There are plenty of such comments. We wish all the parents in their turn paid attention to the history of Jews and attract their children to their history.
The pupils displayed their glasses to the parents and decided to continue this work at home.
